> How about "Blog home page" and "Site home page" (also "Network home
page"). These are clear, especially when juxtaposed.

be deprecated and is_blog_home(), is_site_home() and blog-home.php, site-
home.php should be introduced.
I like this idea of "types" of home pages. This could be extended to post
types, sections, etc... What if is_home() was just modified to take an
optional variable, so you could do is_home( 'site' ), is_home( 'blog' ),
is_home( 'my_post_type' ).
is_front_page() could just stay as is and be deprecated?
The only problem with any of these, whether is_home( 'blog' ) or
_is_blog_home(), or even the idea of assigning a "blog" page relates to
the discussion about renaming the "Posts" menu item to "Blog", discussed
here: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20956
There are reasons why it does not make sense to just force the word "Blog"
on the posts section. Some would call it news, etc... For me, that would
be another reason to keep it something versatile like is_home( 'something'
), or instead of is_home( 'blog' ), you could just do is_home( 'posts' )?
